Galaxy Watch Ultra - disappointing? Camera troubles, thumbnails and more! | Ep. 66

The lads are all back together after Alex has returned from holiday. It was the first opportunity for Alex and Daniel to discuss the latest Samsung products with both having hands-on and having started receiving the devices in hand. Daniel and Alex discussed their shared experience with the Galaxy Watch Ultra, while Alex updated us on the rest of the ecosystem and spoke of his love for the new Galaxy Ring. 

 

The chat moved on to cameras, with David close to securing a business grant that will assist in upgrading his kit, whilst Daniel spoke of the perils of switching from a phone to a camera, just as David's camera ran out of battery while acting as a webcam!

 

The boys then moved on to talking YouTube and spoke about the thumbnail A/B testing, the annoying success of putting your face in thumbnails and whether it's worth using timestamps in videos. All of that and more in this week’s episode of Minus Sixteen!
